It's time to become a fairy.

Yan Ye'an pondered for a moment and said, "The Danhai Realm is similar to the Dao Entry Realm, which is divided into three levels: Divine Breath, Core Condensation, and Sea Transformation."

"The three realms of the Dao Realm are only the beginning of the Dao. The Danhai Realm focuses on the development of the Dantian. The Shenxi Realm involves opening up the foundation of the Great Dao in the bitter sea of ​​the Dantian; the Ningdan Realm involves transforming the foundation of the Great Dao into a divine pill, using the bitter sea to refine the pill, smoothing out the sharp edges of the divine pill, and after the refinement is completed, one can step into the Huahai Realm."

"I've heard that only by entering the Danhai realm can one truly appreciate the power of the Danhai realm, transforming the sea of ​​bitterness into one's own divine sea, and thus unlocking the true power of the dantian."

"sea of ​​bitterness?"

Ye Qingge had heard of the term before, but this was the first time she had heard it used in cultivation.

Yan Ye'an shook his head: "It's hard to explain what the Sea of ​​Bitterness is. I only heard it from my father. It's a special power within the human body, and I don't know how it's born. The more Seas of Bitterness you have in your body, the harder it is to forge a foundation for the Great Dao. But correspondingly, if you can reach the Transformation of the Sea of ​​Bitterness realm, your strength will be even greater!"

Ye Qingge nodded, absorbing the information, and casually asked, "Then what about the Central Courtyard and the Spirit Platform?"

Yan Ye'an looked troubled: "I don't know about that. My father is a cultivator in the Central Court Realm, but he never tells me when I ask. I only know that the Spirit Platform Realm seems to be the level to enter the Immortal Realm, but there is not a single person in the entire Canghui Sect, or even in the countless sects in the East, who has entered the Spirit Platform Realm to become an immortal."

Ye Qingge looked surprised, and she gained a deeper understanding of Yan Ye'an's so-called profound background.

In Ningcheng, those in the Danhai Realm are already considered elites. For example, in the Demon Suppression Division, they can become special-grade personnel, on par with Yan Ye'an's aunt. So what about those in the Zhongting Realm?

The Canghui Sect, and even countless sects throughout the East, have never had a single person at the Spirit Platform Realm. In that case, the Central Court is the highest realm. Yan Ye'an's father is at least a Demon Lord of Ningcheng Town, or even higher, making him a high-ranking figure in the entire Canghui Sect.

With her mind in turmoil, Ye Qingge inquired about the situation of Yan Ye, An Kong, Simeng, and the others, as well as more matters related to cultivation.

After learning that Kong Simeng and the others were alright, Ye Qingge breathed a sigh of relief. After inquiring about their cultivation levels, she gained a clearer understanding of the cultivation levels of many well-known experts in Ningcheng.

Although they are both at the Danhai Realm, there are still differences in their levels. The fierce ghosts they encountered before were roughly at the early stage of the Divine Breath Realm. Yan Ye'an's aunt was at the peak of the Divine Breath Realm, while Feng Yumeng, the famous senior student of No. 3 Middle School, had joined the Imperial Academy and had reached the Condensing Core Realm.

Speaking of Feng Yumeng, Yan Ye'an suddenly remembered something and said, "Recently, the Demon Suppression Division has been short-handed, and the Misty Demon Sect is rampant. I heard from my aunt that they have invited Senior Sister Feng Yumeng back to oversee things for a period of time to complete the encirclement and suppression of the Misty Demon Sect."

No wonder.

Ye Qingge understood immediately. She knew that with the abilities of No. 3 Middle School, it would be impossible to invite Senior Sister Feng from the Imperial Academy. The invitation from the Demon Suppression Division was the main reason.

Yan Ye'an raised an eyebrow: "You know?"

Ye Qingge repeated Kong Simeng's words, and Yan Ye'an finally understood, shaking his head and saying, "Third Middle School really knows how to embellish itself. This must have been Feng Yumeng's trip along the way."

Ye Qingge remained noncommittal. Since it concerned her own school, she couldn't comment. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Why is there such a shortage of people from the Ningcheng Demon Division lately?"

Yan Ye'an hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "You are already a senior member, so it's alright to tell you some things. Actually, it's because of an ancient divine relic. It seems that some important secret has been discovered. I don't know the specific reason, but I do know that the Canghui Sect has already drawn countless experts from the seven major cities to participate in this matter."

“A large number of high-ranking personnel from our Ningcheng Demon Suppression Division have been transferred there. Theoretically, once we become high-ranking members, we are also at risk of being transferred. However, Ningcheng needs people to guard it, and with my aunt here, there is no need to worry about this issue.”

Ye Qingge seemed to be deep in thought. Ancient miracles, does this world also have gods?

Even in the memories of the original owner of the body, Ye Qingge had never heard of gods or immortals in this world. In the worlds of the Empress, Su Qing'er, and the Saintess, there were beings who had reached similar realms. Now, listening to Yan Ye'an's words, it seemed that there was another reason.

Coupled with the history of the Canghui Sect's founding more than two thousand years ago, which she learned from history textbooks, Ye Qingge's imagination ran wild.

Suppressing her thoughts, Ye Qingge chatted casually with Yan Ye.

At twelve o'clock, the nurse outside brought in the food. Yan Ye'an took the food and fed Ye Qingge.

At first, Ye Qingge was a little unaccustomed to it, but considering her status as an injured person and that they were both girls, she assumed that Yan Ye'an was just showing concern for her teammate and didn't think much of it.

What bothered her slightly was that Yan Ye'an seemed to have something to say, but he always looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he had some difficulty speaking.

"Is it something troublesome?"

Ye Qingge pondered for a moment, but didn't point it out, instead appreciating Yan Ye'an's expression of wanting to say something but being unable to.

Having been a man before, even after transmigrating and transforming into a girl, her sexual orientation remained unchanged. In the first month after transmigrating, she explored her own body, but she was too busy to do anything else.

Now that she has some free time due to her injury, and given that Yan Ye'an is also quite beautiful, she doesn't mind taking a good look at the beauty around her.

However, this blissful moment didn't last long. After a communication via a private crystal brain, Yan Ye'an finally gritted her teeth and spoke: "Xiao Qing, are you free on Sunday? There's a really nice new dessert shop that just opened down the street in the city center. If you're free... let's go try it together."

"can."

It wasn't a big deal, and Ye Qingge readily agreed.

Yan Ye'an subconsciously wanted to show a relieved expression, but she concealed it well. She stood up and said in a slightly more excited tone, "I'm going to school now. My aunt has already asked for your leave. Get some rest. I'm leaving now!"

Ye Qingge waved goodbye, and after Yan Ye'an left, she looked at the now deserted ward and began to ponder the events of the past two days.

The amount of information from the past two days has been overwhelming; she needs to process it all. The news Yan Ye'an shared is manageable; she can absorb it quickly. The key issue is what happened yesterday, or rather, what she encountered in the illusion.

"Although the illusion is fake, it is based on the memories of the original owner of the body. This was a heartache of the original owner before, and influenced by the original owner, I did not think deeply about it after inheriting the memories. However, combined with my current understanding, it reveals a lot of information."

"At the very least, leaving Ningcheng for tourism is no simple matter. Leaving Ningcheng would require at least a Danhai Realm expert to lead the group... In other words, it's very likely that the original owner of this body's father was the one who sealed my sister's legs? Then why did my father seal my sister's legs?"

Ye Qingge felt that she had found the reason why her sister's legs were sealed, but she was still unable to learn more because she had too little information.

After pondering the matter to no avail, she sighed helplessly, opened the system panel, and checked her current personal information.

Name: Ye Qingge

[Cultivation Level: Ninth Heaven of Divine Awakening]

[Skills: Primordial Dao Scripture (Minor Success), Five Elements Divine Power Level 1 (Minor Success), Soul Devouring Technique (Minor Success), Heavenly God Transformation Levels 1-3 (Beginner), Basic Sword Technique (Beginner), Mysterious Heaven Sealing Magic Technique (Beginner), Yi Wood Restoration Spirit Technique Level 1 (Beginner), Righteous Qi (Beginner), Mind Illusion Technique (Beginner)]

"My cultivation level actually jumped directly from the fifth to the ninth level, leaping across three or four minor realms in one go... However, the price I paid was considerable. I was lucky to avoid disaster this time; the next time might be different, so I can't try it. There's also the last extra Mind Illusion skill. I don't think I've learned this skill before?"

Ye Qingge pondered for a moment, then began to try using the skill.

She wasn't actually using it, as her current physical condition didn't allow it; she was just trying it out to see the effect.

two minutes later

Ye Qingge reopened her eyes, her gaze strange: "The effect of this skill is almost identical to the illusion cast by that vengeful ghost yesterday, but it's much weaker. It can forcibly pull someone with mental strength less than mine into an illusion. The duration of their immersion and whether they succeed depends on the strength of their mental strength and their proficiency. In other words... this skill might have come from a vengeful ghost?"

Can you obtain the skills of a vengeful ghost by slaying it?

Ye Qingge thought about it and realized she had never heard of such news. If it were true, there would be no way that no one in the Demon Suppression Division would have heard of it.

In other words, the problem lies with oneself.

She recalled everything that had happened yesterday, thought calmly, analyzed carefully, and finally focused her attention on the back of her right hand.

Yesterday, everything was normal when I fought the vengeful ghost. If there was anything unusual, it was the symbol on the back of my right hand. Under the influence of the vengeful ghost's yin energy, it turned an unprecedented scarlet red, as if it was about to burst through my body.

"So, in addition to its original function of warning against yin energy, this symbol also has the function of warning against vengeful ghosts, and absorbing the power of vengeful ghosts after slaying them? Or is this the original effect of the symbol?"

Ye Qingge pondered, feeling that she might have found the true purpose of the symbol, but she had not yet fully figured out how exactly it absorbed the power of the vengeful spirit.

Is it to kill it, absorb the Yin Pearl of the vengeful spirit, or some other method?

Her current strength is not yet at the level where she can casually kill evil spirits, so she can only imagine it in her mind and cannot put it into practice.

Recalling the experiences of the past two days, Ye Qingge had finished processing and digesting everything by the time it got close to one o'clock, and began to feel bored.

Although taking leave due to injury is comfortable, it can be boring without familiar people around. After thinking it over carefully, Ye Qingge opened the system panel and clicked on the Possession page.

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've possessed a body. Now that my system points have been used up, I'll take advantage of this break to earn some more points."

"I need to use free travel to figure out the situation in Su Qing'er's and Feng Lingxiu's worlds and make arrangements before possessing them to be on the safe side. I have already made arrangements for the Empress's world. I originally planned to travel there yesterday, but I didn't expect to encounter that incident... In that case, I will choose the Empress's world."

Having made her choice, Ye Qingge focused her attention on the Empress's section on the page and clicked "Confirm."

Suddenly everything went black, and Ye Qingge's consciousness descended into the Empress's body.

Chapter 50 Resource Crisis, Ye Qingge's Plan

Fairy Exchange System

[The recipient of this exchange: Empress Kaihuang]

[Emergency status detected for the swapped object. Emergency mission initiated!]

[Urgent Mission: The Empress has three days left to produce a stunning artifact within a month, fulfilling her vow. Produce the artifact within these three days to help the Empress complete the mission.]

[Mission Reward: 5000 points, Beginner's Guide to Kendo]

[Due to the special nature of this mission, the mission rewards will be increased based on the level of wonder of the creatures born after birth.]

"As I guessed before, leaving a backup plan before completing the possession mission would allow me to control the Empress's world. Now that I have the freedom to travel, I don't even need to leave a backup plan before completing the possession mission. I can make arrangements during my daily free travels... In this way, as long as I can figure out the standards for the missions issued by the system, I can infinitely rack up points?"

"The rewards for this mission are much more generous than before. The Initial Understanding of Sword Dao is the foundation of the Empress's Sword Dao. Compared to the basic sword dao commonly seen in reality, it contains something deeper and can lead to the highest realm. Its value is not low either. The five thousand points are also more than before. If you can complete it excellently, you can get double the points, tens of thousands of points at once!"

"There are also certain bonuses based on the level of experience of the acquired spirit... The system doesn't explicitly state that the product must be from the acquired spirit, so can we get extra bonuses by surprising the acquired spirit in other ways?"

Ye Qingge looked at the system messages flashing by and found a textual loophole.

Regardless of whether she succeeds or not, she decided to give it a try. If she fails, there will be no loss. If she succeeds, it will increase the amplification of the system rewards, so she won't lose either way.

As her senses gradually returned, before Ye Qingge even opened her eyes, she heard a noisy commotion.

"I believe that the next focus should be on developing the academies. Five academies have already been built, and even before they have officially opened, an unprecedented wave of applications has been generated, with hundreds of thousands of people enrolling. After countless rounds of selection, we have only managed to retain 50,000 students as the first batch. If we were to build ten or twenty more academies, with hundreds of thousands of students, the Heavenly Court would truly achieve unprecedented prosperity!"

"Nonsense! Five academies already require a continuous influx of resources. Can the Heavenly Court afford to build ten or twenty more? In my opinion, we should vigorously develop spiritual plant cultivators. The spiritual plants we are cultivating are already showing initial results. The books Your Majesty has provided contain at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of spiritual plants that can be planted. Once we develop to a certain scale, we can not only solve the problem of food and clothing for ordinary people in the Heavenly Court, but also have a large reserve of resources!"

“Cultivation resources can be provided by the students; they can just pay tuition upon enrollment. Why can't that be?”

"The Heavenly Court's resources are extremely limited. If the students who can enroll are truly not lacking, their cultivation levels wouldn't be so low. Even with the guidance of books and experience, the spiritual plant cultivation plan still encountered many problems. And this is only for the simplest and quickest spiritual plants. Who knows how much time it will take to truly utilize them? In my opinion, we should invest resources in developing celestial craftsmanship to create a real atmosphere among the people, so that the human race can prosper!"

"You're doing this..."

Countless sounds came, clamoring incessantly in her ears. Only after her senses had fully recovered could Ye Qingge clearly hear the sounds below.

She opened her eyes and found herself sitting in a grand hall, with the Five Heavenly Venerables standing at the head of all the celestial officials below, eyes downcast and silent.

Meanwhile, the celestial officials below were making a huge fuss. Some supported the development of academies, while others supported the development of spiritual plants, the promotion of the reputation among the people, and the popularization of the "Craftsmanship of Nature".

Rubbing her temples, Ye Qingge asked the Empress in her heart, "What exactly happened? Why are they arguing so fiercely?"

The Empress's voice sounded weary: "It's a matter of resources. In the month since the Heavenly Court was officially established, too many areas have required resource consumption, including the three directions you originally proposed, which are the main sources of resource consumption. The construction of the academy, the placement and treatment of students, the allocation and cultivation of various spiritual plants... all require a lot of resources."

"The Exploitation of the Works of Nature is a bit better. After it spread, it began to spread on its own. We only need to distribute some regularly. It has already reached a considerable scale. Spontaneous promotion will also spread slowly. However, if we want to achieve success in a short period of time, we will need to invest a lot of resources."

She sighed, "The Heavenly Court's daily expenses and these major projects all require resource investment, but the Heavenly Court does not yet have a stable source of resources, so it must make some trade-offs, otherwise there will be an emergency crisis of resources, and there is a risk of complete collapse!"

Ye Qingge understood the Empress's meaning and began to ponder deeply.

Soon, an idea formed in her mind, and she smiled to herself, "Don't worry, I will solve the resource problem. If my plan succeeds, the Heavenly Court will not be troubled by the resource problem for a short time."

The Empress felt a sense of confusion, but Ye Qingge did not offer an answer. She gently tapped the throne with her finger, and the old Celestial Venerable below immediately understood Ye Qingge's meaning. He coughed lightly, and the scene instantly quieted down.

He smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "I wonder what Your Majesty's plans are for the future?"

Ye Qingge recalled the Empress's appearance, revealing a dignified expression, and pondered, "Dr. Long is right. The construction of the academy cannot be stopped. There are still too many human students in the Heavenly Court who cannot truly develop their talents for various reasons. The five academies have limited capacity, so we can only accept the most talented students first, depending on the situation."

"Next, we need to further popularize the academies, so that ordinary people can also access learning and have the opportunity to cultivate. Only then can the human race truly rise. Resources can indeed be obtained from the students."

A Doctor is a type of official in the Heavenly Court, someone who has achieved extraordinary success in a particular field. After the establishment of the Academy, they became the highest-ranking teaching staff, second only to the Dean.

Upon hearing Ye Qingge's affirmation, Dr. Long's face lit up with an excited smile. Those nearby who supported other viewpoints began to grow anxious, wanting to say something, when Ye Qingge's voice rang out next.
